>> @ after his speech, he refused to stop and speak with reporters. >> this seems to be no exception. it can't keep tripping or else he's going to drown. >> we are continuing to do our job every day and if somebody has some concrete evidence, put it on the table. >> as for that concrete evidence, it's important to point out neither the prosecutors or press reports have directly linked gray to any of the corruption surrounding the 2010 campaign. this is the first time a member of his family has been mentioned. the mayor's son works at the d.c. housing authority and he denies any knowledge of the list and there's no evidence linking him to the list. >> still to come tonight, a prominent [inaudible]

>> we could have heavy to severe thunderstorms. but nothing to worry about tonight. the line of storms kind of broke apart. one of our rooftop cameras looking to the city in arlington, it is kind of hazy and the cloud cover has kept the temperatures down. we still managed to get temperatures to 90 in many spots. humidity levels are starting to creep up. you will feel the increase in moisture. 90 today even without the benefit of much of sunshine. the average high as dropped a degree as we are now statistically past the highest point of summer. we will see about that. 102 degrees is the record set in washington. temperatures are plenty warm.

abundant sunshine in detroit. 106 degrees in st. louis. all kinds of record drought. we'll get a taste tomorrow and a cold front. cooling down on wednesday and the heat will slowly build in. the core of the heat will stay out here and we will get temperatures at or a little above average by the weekend. showers and storms moving but it broke apart. for tonight, nothing more than an isolated sprinkle. here comes the cold front tomorrow -- when the head of the front pushing temperatures into the '90s but a good chance of thunderstorms. because of this front coming through, there could be some

isolated and severe thunderstorms coming through. in all bubbles right back overhead as we had to thursday and friday. the lower 90s with storms possible in the afternoon we will get a break on wednesday and thursday, hot and humid what they chant of storms friday and saturday. the temperatures are not like indianapolis or st. louis. it's more like washington in that upper 80s. >> the toyota sports desk -- brought to you by your local toy loaded dealers moving new ford. >> the big winds of change blowing to the campus of penn state. >> this is tragic from every aspect. the n.c.a.a. hit penn state with a 60 million fine -- $60 million fine and vacated all their wins since 1998. penn state must reduce its

scholarships by 20 per year for four years and the lions are banned from post-season play for that entire time. it will be hard to feel the team financially, so it begs the question how does this impact the entire world of college or football? with everything that has happened at the penn state tragedy, how difficult is it to coach at this level and keep things where you like them to be? >> you have to be careful what you do and what you say in who you surround yourself with. it's an ongoing process to make sure we are all on the same page and make sure your guard is up. it's a reminder that one decision you make could affect a lot of things. just kind of raise the awareness. >> that awareness is throughout the entire country. >> this teng game stretch has

been like a playoff. they have done well so far and their lead in that east is three and a half games. they will be without even desmond who is on the for one month because of an oblique tear. >> i was concerned last night when he said he felt like someone hit him with a bat. i am not sure what the recovery time as. it is a big loss. >> the other topic of conversation was yesterday's british open. suddenly things changed dramatically. adam scott had a four shot lead and then could not get a break missing fairways, missed putts and four shots and four holes, he could not believe it.

all the while, a rally from a solid round of 68 ending with a birdie putt. he steals. our catch of the night -- the rockies-padres game. a cold beverage in one hand. never losing a hold of his beer. then another guy, not to be outdone has a beer and makes the catch with one hand. those are the catches of the night. a final note -- the capitals have tamed it tim hunter as assistant coach. maybe that will be a good sign. >> we hope so. >> thank you.
